Using a Hot Phone
Your phone system may have up to two hot phones. A hot phone is used
exclusively for placing a call to a target number. For example, at a locked entrance,
a hot phone could allow visitors to immediately call an attendant. In a medical
clinic, a hot phone could allow personnel to immediately call for emergency
assistance.
NOTE You may compare the hot phone function to the Private Line Automatic Dial (PLAR)
or Hotdial function in other phone systems. The hot phone function applies to the
phone, not to a line button.
To place a call to the target number, choose an audio device. There may be a short
delay before the call is connected.
• Use the handset: Lift it off hook.
• Use the phone speaker (if available on the phone model): Press .
• Use a headset (if applicable): Press .
